Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Opa-locka

Set annual rent against average income of $24,826 and the ratio lands at 63%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Cost burden runs 74% here against 57.9% across Miami-Dade County.

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.7/10. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Adults with no health insurance runs 34.0% against 11.3% nationally. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.4/10.

Disability prevalence runs 43.8% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,307, 18% above the Westview average. It sits 0.8 points above the Miami-Dade County average of 4.6.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the FL average is 4.1, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
